A panel strip 4 gives to the 'corneranoutstanding pro ection, forming a panel in the intermediate part of the basket. Th s panel strip has legs or sides 5 extending from the corner and the inturned flanges 6 arranged along the edge of each side. The panel strip is formed of resilient material and can. be snapped over the angle plate 3 forcing the flanges over the outwardly faced shoulders formed by the edges of the angle strip. The

depth of the shoulders should be such relatively to the width of the legs and the resilience of the material to readily permit this snapping of the panel strip over the shoulders by the springing of the metal and, in any event, the shoulders should not be more than half the width of the legs. By placing a rod 7 along the corner, the corner strip is not H but the panel strip is locked in position because the outer only braced and strengthened corner of the panel strip is prevented from being brought in, closer to the corner of the angle strip so as to releasethevedges.

. The upper edge of the basket has a bead 8 A bottom c has serrations 1 5 ing the leg anda base formed merely turning over the edges "of the sides." These beads terminate ata point marked 9 (see Fig. 5')"leaving the corner open. Atop felt holding plate 10 overlaps A the'topedge of the bead and covers the open 5 7 space.
